The Propeller P8X32A chip is designed to provide high-speed processing for embedded systems while maintaining low current consumption and a small physical footprint. Instead of trying to funnel all of your operations through one CPU, the Propeller runs eight separate 32-bit cores (called “cogs”) so you can perform several functions in parallel! Each cog has direct access to the system clock and all GPIO pins simultaneously as well as round-robin access to 64K shared memory (32K RAM\/32K ROM) Each of the Propeller’s eight cogs also has two dedicated hardware counters and two special “video registers” for generating timing signals (VGA, NTSC, Servo, etc.)\n\n
